HINGE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 14,1913.

Application filed May 26, 1913. Serial No. 770,007.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRmoLIN from, joiner, a citizen of the Swiss Confederation, residing at VVagenhausen, Canton Thurgau, Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hinges; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to hinges and contemplates the provision of a hinge for doors, windows and the like that is at once inexpensive, compact and eflicient, as well as strong.

A further object of the invention is to provide a hinge which may be easily fixed and lubricated when in position.

With the foregoing in mind the invention will be fully understood from the following description and claim when the same are read in connection with the drawings, accompanying and forming part of this specification, in which:

Figure 1 shows a hinge in an elevational view, Fig. 2 is a sect-ion on line AB of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 shows another form of con struction in an elevational view, parts being broken away. Fig. 4 is a section on line CD of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 shows a third mode of construction in an elevational view, and Fig. 6 a section on line E-F of Fig. 5.

Referring by letter to the said drawings, 1 is a portion of a door and 2 is a portion of a side upright or stile of a door frame. The hinge comprises a leaf 3 arranged in a slot of the frame 1 and fixedly connected thereto by two screws 6, the leaf 3 is provided with a knuckle 5 in which a pintle 8 is fixed by means of the screws 6. As will be seen from the drawings the screws 6 run parallel to the leaf 3. Between the knuckle 5 and the frame 2 a wear plate 10 is pro vided. The pintle 8 projects into a knuckle 15 of a leaf 23, said leaf being fixed to the door frame 2 by means of two screws 16, 16" one of which, 16 passes through a pin 7 fixed in the knuckle 15. The other screw 16 passes through one wall of the knuckle 15 and its head is within the knuckle. To bring the screw 16 in its position a hole 19 is pro vided in the knuckle 15 through which the head of screw 16 may be inserted. The head of said screw 16 does not obstruct the way for the pintle 8 and the hole 19 may be used for lubricating the pintle when necessary.

In the construction shown in Figs. 3 and 4; the upper leaf 23 is provided with a clownwardly projecting flange 1 1. Said flange is provided with a screw hole through which a screw 16 passes. In other respects the construction is identical with the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

Figs. 5 and 6 show hinges with three leafs 11, 12, and 13 such as are used for windows with two wings and with glass panels in each of the wings. Each of the leafs 11, 13 and 12 is provided with a knuckle 5, 19 and 21 respectively. Through said knuckles a pintle 25 passes, fixed to the leaf 11 by means of screws 6, the screws 6 being used to fix the leaf 11 to the window frame 20. Leaf 18 is bent off at right angles at 26 and at 27 and it is fixed to the outer wing 28 by means of screws 29. The upper leaf 12 is fixed to the second wing 30 by means of two screws 36, 36 one passes through one wall of knuckle 21 and the other through both of the walls. The hole 31 which serves for the insertion of the screw 36 is left open and may be used for lubricating.

Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A hinge comprising a leaf having on one of its edges a knuckle, and a second leaf having a pintle projecting in said knuckle, screws for fixing said leaves to their respective parts, said screws passing through said knuckles, a hole in one of said knuckles adapted for the insertion of one of said fixing screws into one of said knuckles and adapted to serve for lubricating said pintle.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
